Yuquiyú is a rustic retreat in the foothills of Puerto Rico’s El Yunque rainforest. We are a glamorous camping, or “glamping,” destination that offers artisan-crafted treehouses with a balcony, designer furnishings, a granite kitchenette and a slate bath. Surrounded by a tropical garden with a cascading river, each treehouse has an iconic view of El Yunque Peak. From Yuquiyú, it is just fifteen minutes to the heart of El Yunque rainforest, twenty minutes to famed Luquillo Beach and thirty-five minutes to Old San Juan. With one of our treehouses as your base, you can discover the rainforest, multi-hued beaches, sea turtle nesting sites, coral reefs, a bioluminescent lagoon, ancient petroglyphs, a Spanish colonial city and Culebra Island. The rate for La Cara de Indio, La Cascada or El Mirador is from $225 per night. Tax adds 7%. Each treehouse can accommodate a maximum of two people. The minimum age is 18 years. The minimum stay is two consecutive nights. No pets are allowed.

This is what vacation is all about. Relaxation in a rainforest setting. Quality treehouse structure with more amenities than most hotels. Joel was very helpful with directions, Don't miss fabulous evening dining prepared by expert chefs. Hike down to the river nearby through a botanical wonderland. If you are lucky, their friendly cat "Boots" will pay you a visit.

We loved our stay at Yuquiyú! The views from our treehouse were the highlight. You share the same view from the shower and bathroom. The treehouse was equipped nicely and the bed was comfortable. I was worried about it being too hot, but it was comfortable. Also, I was worried about the bugs and little creatures but it was a non-issue. Literally no mosquitos! The spot makes for a very relaxing vacation. We enjoyed the dinner for two nights and it was wonderful. Highly recommend as it made for a nice low key evening after our day time adventures. Joel the manager was very helpful in figuring out day activities in the area. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at Yuquiyú for 2 nights. It was a wonderful quiet visit with jungle all around, but with comforts of a hotel. We hiked down to the river all on Yuquiyú property, then came back up to hang out by the pool. This is a very clean and well kept place. Joél, the assistant manager was super helpful and generous.

Yuquiyú treehouses is one of the top three most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed in my whole life. I’ve traveled to many different countries and this is one of the most memorable stays. It’s the definition of being in harmony with nature. Staying here, I was showering with the breathtaking view of El Yunque rainforest and serenaded at night by a symphony of river, conquí frogs, insects and breeze through the plants. The fragrance of tropical garden refreshed my spirit and the stars at night were dreamlike. Debbie, Earnest, Joel and Luis were all amazingly kind and extended warm hospitality to me. There’s a real passion for nature and grace for humanity in this team. I traveled solo and they made me feel beyond welcomed. Debbie took pretty photos of me in nature. Joel put…

The property is stunning, the staff are incredible, and the amount of things to do both on and off property make it well worth the trip. We had the dinner on site and loved it, at night the forest sounds light up and the smell of the forest comes out with the rain. 10/10 would book again.

We stayed in San Juan, Vieques and here and staying at Yuquiyu was far and away the highlight. You really are in nature but with the comforts of being in a house - the best of both worlds. If you fling both doors and both windows open it really feels like you're outside. Yet you're also comfy. We were shocked that it really wasn't buggy. We did not need the mosquito net. Aside from a moth, a centipede and a couple of lizards there were no visitors. They are not really treehouses. However, because they are built into a steep hill with stilts on one side it does give the sensation that you're in a treehouse. The views from Mirador and Cascada were UNREAL. So beautiful. (I'm sure the other views are also unreal I just can't speak to them.) They kind of understate on the website…

My wife and I stayed at Yuquiyu for 2 nights. It is a wonderful place. room clean and well kept. The room was supplied with fresh lemonade, coconut milk and yogurt in the fridge. jars or cashews and granola. coffee and a french press. and a bowl of fresh fruit. They supply candles for night when you sit out on the deck. The river is a quick 5 minute walk away. Joel was very friendly and very helpful if we needed anything.

CRAZY AMAZING BEAUTIFUL LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE YOU ARE IN A MOVIE...EVERYTHING IS SO NICE EACH TREEHOUSE HAS ITS BEAUTY I BELIEVE AND I CAN NOT WAIT TO GO BACK!! JOEL the host is just so friendly and cool who will make you feel you are at HOME!, then the CHEF at HUERTO ESCONDIDO (Edgar ) he is very professional at making such an exquisite mixture of flavors of food to enjoy. I would suggest having one dinner there at least to take advantage of that opportunity but also do some groceries before booking there so you experience eating in your treehouse! I stayed at EL MIRADOR and I am speechless. It is amazing to stay in a place like that...THE BATHROOM! JUST WOW! ...I am sure going back to experience LA CASCADA which looked pretty cool as well! thank you thank you thank you! this…

The small luxurious cabins are situated on a steep hillside, giving you a view of pristine, uninhabited rainforest. If you enjoy dark, starry nights, listening to the sounds of birds, frogs and insects, then this is for you. But this is not for everyone. This is not a hotel or a resort. Granola, yoghurt, fruit and coffee are provided for breakfast. You have to figure out other meals on your own (you can pre-book a vegetarian meal - recommended!), cook in your cabin, or drive down to the delicious barbecue joint at the junction of Route 3 (ribs!). There is NO bellboy, no room service. And the path to the cabins is precarious and steep. Here is my heartfelt advice: PACK A LITTLE BAG and leave your luggage in the car. It is a truly special challenge to hump your…

Yuquiyú Treehouses House staff memberJoel was very friendly and very helpful. Particularly in directing our Uber driver to the destination. Make sure Uber has the correct address to get here. Even at that, it was Joel that guided the driver to the Yuquiyú Treehouses. The views were amazing as well as the the accommodations. Infinity pool offered a cool down during and after 88 degree days. The openess our treehouse to the flora, fauna, valley stream and mountains beyond was really awesome. It was a well equipped treehouse with many helpful small appliaces. The fruits, nuts, granola, water and yogurt in the fridge was appreciated. Suggestions for our unit, the El Marador: Queen bed is extremely low. It could be raised 6"- 8". The room could easily accommodate a king bed. Adding…
